The Labia Minora Reduction is not allowed for women with immunodeficiency. In addition, the Labia Minora Reduction is not recommended unless you have a discussion with your spouse because this may lead to problems and misunderstandings caused by refraining from sexual intercourse for quite a time.

TheLabia Minora Reduction has limitations and cannot absolutely ensure satisfactory results because there are so many factors affecting the surgery’s success. In case of unexpected surgical results or complications, corrective surgery is an option and will be discussed between you and the surgeon.

However, if the unsatisfactory results occur due to the complication from your non-compliance with the doctor’s orders, you will be charged accordingly.
